What an interesting read! In Hungary, I bought a prescribed steroid cream, that in the US, would have cost $30-$50 (at least) for $4 here. Outrageous! And Americans will defend to their dying day the right to choose their own doctor (which is semi-determined by a person's own personal insurance), and the insurance plan determines which medicines they approve--never the best or the med with with least side effects--because those are newer and cost more . . .and most Americans don't really care about those who don't have insurance or are dependent on welfare. Doesn't matter if Canada has lower costs *and* a federally run health care system--American's will not stand for that! I wish more people could read this article.

About This Blog

I am one of the largely nameless, faceless bureaucrats who work tirelessly (and largely thanklessly) to help ensure that poor people don't go hungry - and a billion other tasks government bureaucrats do that no one notices until something stops working. Living and working in DC is making me angry - and I vent my anger as thoughtfully as I can. Well, OK, maybe I'm not terribly angry ... but I thought it was a good name for a blog. If you're also a bureaucrat, or angry, or thoughtful, I'm happy to entertain guest posts.
